  Gatefold sleeve, double black 180g vinyl, 32p booklet, obi strip, download card

  More than 20 years in the making, this December finally sees the release of i/o, Peter Gabriels first album of new material since 2002s Up. During 2023, Peter has been releasing a new song from the album on the occasion of every full moon. Being revealed roughly every four weeks, each track has been allowed to find its own time and space, to enjoy its own orbit. Its a little like getting a Lego piece each month, Peter explains. Now its time to stand back and admire the final, completed creation. And what a creation 12 tracks of grace, gravity and great beauty that provide welcome confirmation of not only Peters ongoing ability to write stop-you-in-your-tracks songs but also of that thrilling voice, still perfectly, delightfully intact. Throughout the album the intelligent and thoughtful often thought-provoking songs tackle life and the universe. Our connection to the world around us Im just a part of everything Peter sings on title track i/o is a recurring motif, but so too the passing of time, mortality and grief, alongside such themes as injustice, surveillance and the roots of terrorism. But this is not a solemn record. While reflective, the mood is never despondent; i/o is musically adventurous, often joyous and ultimately full of hope, topped off as it is, by the rousingly optimistic closing song, Live and Let Live.
